Unwrapping Fun

We scheduled only two hours for the twins first birthday party. Research and experience told us that the excitement would fatigue them quickly and they would become irritable beyond that point. Since we anticipated the boys opening their own presents would take a while, we scheduled that activity for the next day. They were fully rested and in a playful mood when we began opening the presents after lunch on Sunday. Ripping the paper off the boxes seemed especially pleasing to them, giving us pause with Christmas so close. We’ll have to build an electric fence around our Christmas tree. The cliché is for toddlers to find the boxes more fascinating than the gifts inside, but our boys seemed more focused on the new toys. We are so very grateful to our loving family and friends who generously showered Davey and Benji with such generous birthday gifts.
